Like a phony impeachment was just a prank.
“Though Democratic leaders have tamped down talk for now, they say the decision by Republicans to move forward has shaken their faith in some of the institutional pillars of the Senate, which has historically been driven more by relationships than the majority-run House. “
Cry me a river!!
It was the Rats that did away with the filibuster. Live with it.
What a bunch of hyperbole.
“...threatening to fundamentally reshape the institution.”
Journalism is dead.
Sounds like my three year old granddaughter when she's throwing a temper tantrum.
A bunch of crybabies instead of adults.
Trump has the right.
Barret has the votes.
She’ll be confirmed in short order.
Scraping the mud off will take time.
Towards the brink of what?
More political fighting?
If appointments to the Federal courts and Supreme Court justices are the ONLY thing that gets done in the Senate then I will be a very happy person. Don’t need the rest of the bureaucracy.
After that hatchet job they attempted on Justice Kavanaugh two years ago I don’t give a flying f**k what Senate Democrats think. Time to just run their dumb asses over and take Judge Barrett’s nomination straight to the Senate floor for a confirmation vote.
Jordain Carney, Huh?
I wonder if she is related to Jay Carney, 0bama’s old Press Secretary.
OR maybe it IS Jay Carney and he is ‘transitioning’.
The bad blood between the parties over the courts preceded Trump’s presidency. Republicans argue the current brinkmanship can be traced to the decision by then-Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to get rid of the 60-vote filibuster for executive nominations as well as district and circuit court nominees.
when democrats nominate, the media and dems demand it go quickly and paint the right as evil and obstructionist
when reversed they demand to stop it and obstruct, and paint the right as evil and ‘not the will of the people’
must be nice to be a socialiat libtard, never wrong, never hypocritical /sarc
This article is nothing more than an exercise in garbage in, garbage out.
So dramatic! So alarming! Such an overwrought bucket of crap!
elephant in room
Dems can’t get their Leftist BS passed in the legislature, so they use the courts and ‘activist’ judges to ram their liberal crap down our throat.
Per President Obama:
“You don’t like a particular policy or a particular president? Then argue for your position. Go out there and win an election. Push to change it. But don’t break it. Don’t break what our predecessors spent over two centuries building. That’s not being faithful to what this country’s about.”
We are nowhere near where we were two years ago with Kavanaugh. There is plenty of gnashing of teeth on the left as they attempt to whip up the hate against a President fulfilling the constitutional duty of his office, and the fully qualified nominee he has forwarded to the Senate. So far, the dems have been weak and petty, with nothing to attack with other than “It’s not fair!” and “But, Merrick Garland!”. The left’s quiver is empty and “The Brink” is miles away. What are they gonna do? Call for riots and looting?
The Left has been on the offense for the past 60 years. I want to see them on the defense for the next 60 years.
Our representatives weren’t hired to work in a “Let’s all just get along and sing kum-ba-ya” environment. Just do your job and be done with it.
To listen to this belly aching and sing song jabber insults every voter out there.
